The dealer has given us an A3 DSG as a courtesy while we wait for my wife's A4 Avant to arrive.

The more I drive this car, the more I like it. So far, I have pretty well managed to convince her that we do not need the larger A4.

Ride confort is my last obstacle. I must admit that the A3 rides much harder than the A4. Is this normal?

As I do not have the owner's manual, I cannot find what normal tire pressure is? Right now the car is at 34 psi at all 4 wheels. Is this OK?

should say in the door frame

34 is for a full load i think, but shouldn't give you any problems.

3.2 door sticker says 44 PSI F/R, owner's manual says 35/36, and that door sticker takes precedence.

Nothing in the door frame. Found it in gas cover door

Thanks

See the manual is correct, but also confusing for some as it lists multiple pressures dependent on cargo load. So NHTSA made automakers only use ONE number on the door jamb or gas cap. They assume we are really DUMB. They are using the higher number. Go by the manual, unless you like that harsh ride.

I'm assuming 44 PSI F/R is for the 18" option wheels.

The numbers in my copy of the manual (September 2005 version) are erratic, at best. For example, there's a recommended 4 psi difference between front and rear for normal driving 2.0t all-seasons, but just 2 psi for high-performance tires under the same conditions. On the 3.2, front pressures go up 3 psi from normal to full load for the all-seasons, but stay the same for high-performance. No makea no sense.
